I mean he established she was a complete freak in the sack. Are we really shocked she is also mentally unstable?

I hear what you are saying, but it's totally, completely, 100% out of the blue.

Imagine your mom, boss, whatever, calls you and says "Hey, I'm not going to go into why, but don't come to the house anymore, you didn't do anything, but thats the way it has to be, goodbye."

I'm just confused, like it makes 0 sense to me. I would love if I could say "Ohh this thing and that thing" and had ANY sort of idea.

And while I said I didn't know what to say, I did talk to her some, basically just saying I simply don't understand at all. She replied with

"I'm not ready to give my life up. That seems like a good fit for how I'm feeling. My life has changed a lot since I met you and I like my life. I don't want it to change... That's obviously my problem. I don't know why I am so persistent on that. I'm not ready to give myself to someone else. I started to and tried and liked it, but then I realized I'm not ready. We moved too fast."

I said "Yeah, it's okay, I don't get it, but I appreciate you trying to explain. Don't worry about it."

She said "I'm sorry for hurting you. I didn't see this coming."

So yeah, I mean, its like what you are all saying, I should stop driving myself crazy about it, it's probably the smoothest breakup I could ask for. And the other plus is now I don't need to worry about things going in my butt. Maybe I should be thankful? :p

I also don't know why you wouldn't try and figure out why the girl broke up with you. I learned a ton from relationships that went down in flames. You won't get an answer from her but you can mentally playback the relationship and figure out where you went wrong and try to avoid doing that in the future. Its like watching your replays in Starcraft after a loss. It sucks to do it but if you want to learn and get better you better do it. If you want to continue making the same mistakes and constantly chalking it up to "Bitches be crazy" you're going to just keep ruining relationships.
Because unless there was a specific incident that precipitated the break-up, it's a an exercise in futility. You date a girl five times, and after the fifth date you felt all was going well but you get the same line Onoes got. Who the fuck can say what the real reason is? StarCraft is a game founded on logic and rules, unlike the human mind. You can't replay the early phase of a relationship like a game of StarCraft, because her rationale or reason for breaking up with you can potentially be something you can't even guess.

I agree with when it comes to long term relationships, which usually have a long standing history of problems to analyze, but the "newfound" relationship? You'll drive yourself crazy.

women aint shit but tricks and hoes
Don't butcher the Dre line, it's "bitches ain't shit but hos and tricks". Otherwise, you can't end the next line with "dick(s)".


Because unless there was a specific incident that precipitated the break-up, it's a an exercise in futility.
Sometimes yes, bitches be crazy. Other times, you may realize you did something dumb over time without realizing it. Or that you were reading the situation wrong. Some reflection afterwards doesn't hurt, as long as you aren't obsessing over it.

You said the kid's dad died. You didn't say her husband, so I'm unclear on that aspect, but I have a terrible feeling she feels moving on with someone else would be moving on from him.

They were separated and he killed himself. I don't think she is really upset over that. She had a 2 year relationship after that, which ended in February of this year. In August she took a two week trip to Colorado to stay with her Ex and see if they could make it work, apparently they had both been talking about it. It didn't work out and they both remembered why they split up and she came back. Then, she met me in October.

But yeah, for all I know her old boyfriend called her, they talked for hours and I'm gone. I also met her sister the other day and she seemed like a huge bitch, so maybe her sister ruined it for me. Who knows. Back to the terrible fucking hunt for non insane girls I guess.

I can't adequately exaggerate to you just how bad of an idea this is. Unless this girl you were dating is some teenager then this will not help you in any way/shape/form.
I kind of agree with Wombat and you more or less hit on the issue here. Onoes has a well established history of hanging with immature women or outright borderline too young girls. Plus he is not someone who pulls in the stable and mature women, given his mentality and haircut (not a slam on him). In my experience, personal and otherwise, when a girl dumps you trying to find out why is a waste of time because they are usually rationalizing it to themselves to justify their decision and don't even have a clear picture for themselves. I am of course talking about when you have not done anything obvious like fucking around on her or calling her mom a cunt.

...most are saying there must be another guy in the picture somewhere I'm just totally unaware of.
This is my guess both for this fling and your marriage, actually. To me the texting after the fact tells me that Dude number 2 is not a lock yet and she is trying to keep you parked on the back burner until he is.

Its either that or your refusal to do anal. 50/50 chance either way....

That was a pretty good movie. It does not involve anal though.

I don't know man. I mean if you were dating for like 6 months+ and this happened I could see the bewilderment. But you were dating for 6 weeks. I can't believe anyone here is even attempting to rationalize it. You moved too fast, she even said it. Case closed.

says stuff like "I'm going to ride your dick until I cum on it, then I'm going to lick you clean, and when you can't take it anymore I want you to fuck my face, does that sound good baby?" And she's fucking serious. And the rest of the time she's like a sweet little angel, A+ mom to her daughter, goes to the gym, works, drinks, plays board games and watches the Hobbit.
I mean he established she was a complete freak in the sack. Are we really shocked she is also mentally unstable?
So we see Onoes track record of falling in love with young pscyhos and entering a relationship that burns brightly and then flames out continues.

That girl sounds fucking nuts to me. Fun? Maybe sure. Talking about where you two will be in fifteen years after dating for less than three months? Baby daddy killed himself? She's off her rocker. Lots of girls probably think that long term stuff pretty quickly when they've fallen for you, but bringing it up that way more than once so early? That should scream unstable, but you were too hooked on the new thing with her to see it. I say you dodged a bullet. She wants her space, give her a universe worth, you'll probably be better off.

Yeah, her recent relationship history is definitely tainted with hints of crazy. Not first date "btw I was molested as a child and I got a breast reduction to A cups because I was tired of guys looking at my boobs" crazy, but still crazy.

Btw Khane, how is the open relationship going?

Just use this simple mnemonic to help you remember:

Ki? no K-Y
Ku? bring the goo

Kirun is the red pill troller
Kuriin is the gay doctor

Not sure that helps at all actually.

Open relationship is still more of a conversation than anything else at this point. I don't think she's going to be able to do it and it will probably end things between her and I, but we'll see.

What you should consider is the case if you are successful. So you manage to smooth this out and two weeks from now it's back to how it was two weeks ago.

What about next time it happens? How many times is too many? There's not really a right or wrong answer, maybe this sort of turbulence is exactly proper. Maybe she just freaked. Maybe all she wanted was a six week vacation. Who knows. It sounds like she might not, even. You're not a deluded beta pussy if you decide to chase her down but what you catch is probably not what you think you're chasing.

Careful with that one young skywalker. There is no can or can not -- there is only try.
